A Steal: Hitting Trips on the Turn

Villain was a complete maniac. He loved to jam pots with weak draws, pairs and sometimes with air. So... do you raise this river?

Absolutely I would raise this river and call a three bet, but what I object to is the flop raise. If he has air you'll likely lose him and alot of the time he has 0 - 3 outs. Sometimes mind you he has 7-10 outs (any two broadway).

Given the read, you've played this perfectly so far, and should raise the river. Call a three-bet and expect to win a fair amount of the time you do so.

i like the flop raise, and if you dont raise this river i might vomit.

Perfect so far. Raise-call the river.

Fetch the bucket. I hit the call button. He had 3[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 2[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img].

I froze up when he pulled yet another stop and go on the river. Of course I should've raised.

by the river, clearly, villian had no idea whether he was value betting or bluffing.
